Hi Jelte,

You should be able to use requireJS for this, by changing the following line in your widget:

require(["jquery", "sakai/sakai.api.core"], function($, sakai) {

into

require(["jquery", "sakai/sakai.api.core", "http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js "], function($, sakai) {

When doing that, you should have access to the twttr object inside of your widget.

I'll create a JIRA for this to be added to our Widget SDK.

Hope that helps,
Nicolaas

Hey all,

While developing a dynamic Twitter widget, I ran into a bit of trouble with adding an external Javascript file. I wanted to use the standard twitter JS file at http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js is able to generate a widget. The problem was that when adding it in script tags above the widget load script tags the widget wouldn't load in a normal way. Eventually I was able to fix it by using the $.getScript jQuery function. I suggest it gets added to the documentation that you are supposed to include other JS files in this way, because it caused a lot of unexpected behavior.
